DRO Low-energy Capture

Author: Tianjiang Shuo Website: https://cislunarspace.cn

Definition

The capture process of entering a DRO with very small impulse through the weak stability boundary transfer mechanism, utilizing solar gravitational perturbation and lunar gravity assist.

Application Value

Multi-impulse maneuvers apply velocity increments in segments, enabling more flexible Earth-Moon transfer trajectory design and suitable for orbit transfers under complex mission constraints.
